Tesco self scans

A question about : Tesco self scans

Earlier this year, I was able to scan Ј9 of coupons without any assistance. Today, I went to Tesco with 10 coupons - everything I had a coupon (booklet came in the post) for, the product was on offer! Eg 65p off Cheerios and there was a box half price at Ј1.24 - so 59p, 40p off Ainsley Harriott's couscous when buy 2 packs. Offer is 2 for Ј1 - so 60p.

Every single coupon I had to get approval for!

Bloody ridicuous! I will refuse to go through self scan at Tesco. Plus there was ONE member of staff for 12 self scans.

At least Sainsburys allow customers to scan extra Nectar point coupons and MOCs up to Ј2.50 without help 99% of the time!

Best answers:

• I had a few coupons the other day in Tesco. I used the self-service till, the assistant told me that after I had used two, she has to authorise every coupon individually after that.
• Till's are f**king ridiculous in some places. Was getting baby wipes (6 or 7 packs as on deal). They needed age verification approval.
• I scanned a Tesco win a holiday coupon the other day on the self service till and the shop assistant came running over and opened the coupon box with her key to check what it was!
• my "win Ј100 worth of shopping" coupon from the Tesco magazine had to be approved...
• It could be another anti-Clubcard fraud measure. And we'd all like to see that stopped wouldn't we!?
• Too much abuse with coupons on self service so they have had to clamp down. Much quicker to go to a manned till with a quantity of coupons even before they all needed approval. My advice would be to steer clear of ss tills with more than two coupons.
• I work in a well known supermarket and unfortunately most of the coupons we have through are either out of date or fraudelent now we have to check them on a list to see if they are dodgy ones you would be surprised how many we have and the supermarkets don't recoup there money on them
• I have put loads of vouchers through "scan as you shop" without problems but putting vouchers through self scan needs virtually every one authorising.
• This really annoyed me the other day, every voucher required the assistant, I felt awful
• i have had that too, you feel a bit of an idiot after a while x
• If you have lots of vouchers go to a manned till. Too much voucher abuse of self scan has meant they have now programmed it to need assistance for quantity or high value coupons.
• Everytime I try to use a coupon at one, they tell me the coupon isn't yet valid though it is and the assistant always seems really annoyed with me..
